This crust is chewy, firm, and flavorful--just like a wheat crust! This recipe originally comes from Special Diet Solutions by Carol Fenster, Ph.D., but my brother found it online at http://www.recipegoldmine.com . (If you don't do dairy, you can omit the dry milk powder. It just helps brown the crust nicely.)

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast
2/3 cup garbanzo flour or brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 tablespoons powdered milk
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees F)
1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
cooking spray

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2
In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water, sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft bread dough. (You may also mix in bread machine on dough setting.).
3
Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin, crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle flour onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges thicker to contain the toppings. Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
4
You can freeze it for later use or continue making a pizza by spreading the crust with your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned.

This recipe worked great for my son who has not been able to eat pizza since he went on a GFCF diet. He LOVED it might I add. I did need to add a lot of extra flour to it, because it was so sticky, but other than that it was a great recipe.

Pretty impressive! I must admit it isn't the best pizza crust I've had, and I am going to have to double the recipe every time I make it (as my boyfriend and I plowed through one batch in record time), I have to give this recipe the best "Available Ingredients in a Gluten Free Kitchen" award. If you are used to cooking gluten-free, you easily have all of these things on hand (which is why I tried this recipe). If you are starting a gluten-free diet for any reason, this is a phenominal start. Thanks, BigRedSooz, for sharing!

Many thanks for this recipe, it is brilliant. The closest and nicest to a wheat crust I have made and tasted. It is super easy to make. Throw in all ingredients and mix!!!! I have made it 6 times now and have found that the yeast needs to be put in after the flour so that it mixes well into the dough, and I always add 1 to 2 tblespns extra of water, as I use the tapioca flour very liberally when pressing the dough out on the pizza tray. I put baking paper on the tray (and don't use cooking spray) which makes it easier when putting them in the freezer. For the Aussies out there!!!! garbanzo flour is besan or chickpea flour (which is my flour of choice for this recipe), and tapioca flour is arrowroot. Temp needed for the oven is 200C fan forced. Happy cooking.
